The Tango of My Life

I’m leaving this party
I’m out of this town
I’m not your play thing
I’m not your friend
Being true to me first
Means I’ll love again
This story of mine waits for me
To create the middle and the happy end
Since you took the beginning
there’s one thing I control
that’s this journey,
and what I see around that bend

I dance and cry
Does that make sense
No it doesn’t!
One moment I’m spent
The next I’m beginning again
The tango of my life
The tears of my song
Bring me along this journey
a million miles
so long, so long, so long
to this world of wrong

Driving a million miles away from you
Makes me true
True to me, And what’s ahead
Yesterday I fell, I cried, I lied,
Today
I drive, I drive, I drive
Away from you
Where I know I’ll find me,

I’m sad
I’m scared
I’m lonely
And you know
I’m anxious to know where
This road leads
With the dust behind me,
And the sun above,
I’m ready,
I’m moving on

Don’t cry
Cause I’ve stopped
And what use to be tears
are sunshine spots
little specks of hope
all dried up
they’ve taught me to cope
to push on, to see around the corner
to dream of what’s ahead
to leave my past behind…
enough said!!!

it’s time to drive, a country mile,
a long country mile,
time to look ahead
time to say one more thing…
see ya bye, the end!

I Love You (Song Lyrics)

Love is getting better
Life is getting easier
You’re my reason
It’s you
My hope
It’s you

Lifted to the light
I shine
Uplifted I’m not the same
With you in my heart
I sing
I sing
I sing
In your name

Love is getting easier
Life is getting better
You’re the reason
It’s you
It’s you
It’s you
I sing in your name

Surrounded by beauty
My life shines, it shines so bright,
Shines with hope
That others feel the same
That others live to love
To sing in their name
To hold onto the best of life
And let the rest fade
It’s love
It’s love
It’s love
..and that’s why I sing in your name

I sing in your name for all to hear
I hold you close
When I love…
I Love You
I Love You
I Love You
And this life….

In The Darkness of the Night

In the darkness of the night
I cried a broken heart
I dried a blood stained tear
In the darkness of the night
I wished that you were here
to crush this thing called fear
please don’t leave me now
when things may not seem clear
’cause without you by my side
without you being here
I’de die a thousand deaths
in each and every tear

Your life has been my teacher
Your strength  has showed me how
as I’ve faded into black
You’ve lifted me from shadows
you seemed to bring me back
by knowing what I lack
please don’t leave me now
you can count on me to stay
’cause all I need is you
to wipe these tears away
I’de live a million years
to see you every day

In the darkness of the night
please mend my broken heart
please kiss away these tears
In the darkness of the night
please crush this thing called fear
I wish that you were here
I wish that you were here
it hurts to bleed this fear
it just hurts

I Am My Mothers Daughter

“Listen to the Song” - I Am My Mothers Daughter

(VERSE 1)
She sits alone

rewinding her life story

wondering did she do enough

does she know I Am all I Am because of her

found my place in this world

‘cause of the shoulders she let me lean on

‘cause of the tears she wiped away

does she know I love my life

‘cause of how she paved my paths

does she know when I lay my head down

I thank her first and last

for what she’s given of herself

and though many years have passed

I am now a woman who can see

my mother’s life story told through me

(CHORUS)

I am my mothers daughter

I am the light that shines for others

cause she let her light shine bright on me

I am my mothers daughter

filled with hope during adversity

I am my mothers daughter

she’s forever in my heart

I am my mothers daughter

I am her work of art

(VERSE 2)

Holding my child I know

I hold a piece of my mothers love

she put me first so many times

as I will do for mine

‘cause of the lessons she always taught me

‘cause of the way in which she carried herself

does she know I gather strength from her

‘cause of her compassionate grace

does she know I pass the stories down

for her grandkids to embrace

(BRIDGE to FINAL CHORUS)

As my children’s life begin

I am my mother’s student painter

who loves with all her heart

because…

I am my mothers daughter

I am the light that shines for others

cause she let her light shine bright on me

I am my mothers daughter

filled with hope during adversity

I am my mothers daughter

she’s forever in my heart

I am my mothers daughter

I am her work of art
